At God's Palace, Goten and Trunks finally take a shot at Fusion. But they fail, and a fat Gotenks is born. The two failed because their poses were slightly off. After 30 minutes, the merge wears off and the two try it again, but fail once more. On the third time they at last succeed at Fusion, and the warrior Gotenks is born!! But the cocky Gotenks immediately goes off to challenge Buu, but is utterly defeated. He returns, beaten to a pulp.
